On November 7, 2009, I spent the night before with my mom and in the morning, attended her Relief Societies Super Saturday event! It was great to spend time and learn these great tips with my mom. I learned how to make one hour bread and what to do with it, decorate cupcakes, and how to use coupons to save money at the grocery stores! Here's my favorite tips!
One Hour Bread
Mix together completely:
5 1/4 cups bread flour, white or wheat
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 Tbs. salt
1 1/2 Tbs Saf instant yeast
Add:
1 1/2 Tbs. liquid lecithin
2 cups
Mix 1 minute; check consistency. If dough is too dry, add more water. If too moist, add flour. Mix 5 minutes in mixer or knead 10 minutes. Do not add more water or flour to dough after mixing is complete!
Spray counter and pans with Pam spray. Shape loaves and cover with towel. Raise 25 minutes. Bake 25 minutes at 350.
Make speciality breads!
Cheese bread - add cheese to bread while mixing
Cinnamon sweet bread - add cinnamon sugar to dough while mixing
Italian bread - add italian seasoning or parmesan cheese to dough (good for pizza)
Surprise rolls - wrap dough around a piece of fruit, or chocolate, seal and bake
Cinnamon rolls - flatten dough and cover with butter. Sprinkle on cinnamon sugar. Roll up and slice (dental floss works great) and bake
Bread sticks - Roll out, cover with melted butter, cut into strips and mold into shapes if desired (letters of the alphabet is great for kids) and bake
It's also great for braided bread, pizza, and calzones!

Decorating cupcakes!
Larry the Turkey cupcakes! Honestly, that's what the book called them! :) We frosted the chocolate bottom cupcake with chocolate frosting and rolled the edge in brown sprinkles. Frost the smaller cupcake again with chocolate frosting, dip one corner in brown sprinkles for the hair, and place on its side on top of the other cupcake. Add a Sandies cookie behind it with some frosting to allow the candy corn feathers to stick. Add a candy corn for the beak, a small strip of watermelon airhead or red swedish fish for the caruncle (red fleshy part). Use white frosting to dab on the white of the eye and then add chocolate chips for the pupils! They turn out cute!
The rear of the turkey, I used a marshmallow to add support, but mom didn't and it was just fine! You can see the Sandies cookie for the feathers or candy corn!
